Job stress causing stomach pains

[Zig27]

I started a new job at an old employer. I have done most of this role before so know how demanding it is.

People in a sub team are trying to dump their work onto me and manipulate the manager which he is siding with them as he is friends with them. My supervisor and others have said I am not to so this extra work as I don’t have the capacity and need to support our team.

I sent an email to the sub team and copied in the manager and my supervisor making it clear what I would be doing and not be doing. One of the people in the sub team who received the email said she wasn’t happy and will raise this issue in her one to one.

The problem is the sub team has a manager and administrator. The administrator has confided in me multiple times that her manager is passing her, her job role to do so the manager can spend more time playing with her son working from home.

Why should I pick up the work of the sub team because the manager is stressing out the administrator through her sheer laziness.

My stomach is paining due to the stress of the unrealistic expectations. I can’t stop thinking about it at home. I have not felt this stressed in a long time.

I feel people are trying to take advantage because I am new. I am work hard but don’t want burnout from unrealistic workloads, I am speaking up. I feel like handing my notice in and going back to the agencies. Anyone give any advice please?

You’ve either got to not care how much work there is and just do what you are paid to do or make the decision to leave.

Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Walk if necessary as it’s effecting your mental health.

No job is worth compromising your health, and any employer who allows the situation to exist is not worth your loyalty. If I were you I'd get out before it destroys your confidence too.

Follow your gut. Your mental health is important and not worth being destroyed by this.

I've been a dental nurse for 13 years, I got IBS within months of starting the job. I'm 9 months pregnant and finished work 2 weeks ago snd this is the best my stomachs been for 13 years. I haven't had one flare up since leaving, I usually get several a week. I wish I had quit years ago

I feel a bit better today as one of my colleagues emailed them with some of their work that had come through. One of them is annoyed and blanking me now as they kept trying to persuade me to apply for the job, now I realise it’s because they want me to do their work. I have no time for lazy toxic colleagues.
